I graduated from the University of Michigan with honors, receiving a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry. I acquired my Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University and completed my residency in gynecology and obstetrics in Michigan. I earned my certification as a life and executive coach from Rutgers University. I am a sex counselor and educator. I am also a menopause society certified practitioner as well as an ISSWSH fellow. As a practicing OBGYN in New York for over 20 years, my mission has always been to empower and educate women. Most recently I have opened up a telehealth practice serving patients in NY and Michigan for sexual and menopausal health and a private practice to be opening in Summer 2024. I help women remove mental and physical barriers so that they can find pleasure in their relationship. I believe that all women, regardless of their backgrounds, have the potential to live life to its fullest.Find Dr. Sadaf here: dr.sadaf.com Email: [email protected] follow her on social media!Tiktok: @drsadafobgynInstagram: @drsadafobgyn/YouTube: @drsadafobgyn.................................................................................................................................Learn more about Rheumatology on Dr. Amigues' education focused channel, @Rheumatology101  And give us a follow on social media!
